One of the most violent sonic weapons on the market, the sonic disruptor was outlawed by the Galactic Republic, even for use against the Sith. The sonic disruptor disintegrated its target, leaving few traces of a victim behind. Personal defenses such as energy shields were no match for this weapon. Due to the massive energy requirements, the disruptor needed a few seconds of cool-down time between shots before firing again. Additionally, it had the advantage of dealing sonic damage, which a Jedi would not be able to deflect with his lightsaber.[1]
